Case study 1. House blasted to remove old paint in prep for K Rend.

Blasting old paint from a building or brickwork can be very rewarding as the colour and texture of the brick emerges after years of being covered, it is important though that the underlying brick is not softer than the old paint otherwise blasting may not be the answer!

Old paint on masonry needed to be removed

The work involved operating safely at height, minimising disruption to other properties, and reducing the spread of debris and dust. Firstly, mesh was used to protect the surroundings. Secondly, the process involved wet blasting to minimise dust. Thirdly, the paint needed to be removed without damaging the bricks or the mortar. Because the paint has built up over many years, sometimes the task can involve removing multiple layers consequently taking more time and care.

The finished result

Having removed the old paint, the surface was now ready to apply K Rend, a Silicone Masonry Paint providing an attractive, matt, coloured finish for exterior use on masonry substrates.

K Rend, is manufactured with a combination of silicone resin and mineral fillers to provide outstanding water repellence. For this reason, it was the ideal coating for the property.

As a result, a well-prepared surface provides optimum adhesion for the new masonry paint.

Case study 2. Stables at Ringwood, Hampshire undergoing refurbishment

This process involved removing old paint and debris from an old stable block. Even though the bricks and mortar were many years old, our blasting process sensitively removed the paint leaving the brickwork and mortar undamaged.
